Need Help!! my sps is losing color

[zoozimmy]

i got some new sps and they were looking good for the first month, but now they dont have color anymore. When i got them they were blue and now they are white. Can anyone help me??

What kind of lights do you have, when was the last time you changed your bulbs?

What's your calcium, alk reading?

Yes, need to know LOTS more about your system. Please list all your water params and lighting details. Bleaching sps is almost never a good sign unforunately.

Temp
Salinity
pH
Alkalinity
Calcium
Magnesium
Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate
Phosphate

are they completly white. or do they still have tissue? if they are completly white they are gone.

what kind of lighting you have, water parameter will help. if we know what happen to this SPS you can change it so later you won't loose more corals.

is that what they call bleached???

bleached = if the flesh and polyps are still there, but all the zoox is gone. they can easily recover from this

dead = if all the flesh is gone. the wise dollar would not be bet on any kind of recovery
